While I don’t profess to have much knowledge in cars, I am running by the assumption that the BMW M4 Coupé is either a highly fancy or much anticipated new car that is not yet on sale at market. Whatever it is, Polyphony Digital and Sony Computer Entertainment have announced that following the recent game update, owners of Gran Turismo 6 (GT6) will be able to sample the BMW M4 Coupé in-game. This is only part of a seasonal update however, with it to be available for all for the next two weeks (Until Boxing Day).
They have also confirmed a new event to star this car in. The BMW M4 Coupé Superlap challenge will take place on the Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit and gives players the opportunity to drive the car to complete the event, giving anyone the chance to experience this stunning new vehicle in the virtual world before it launches in the real world. Until now, the BMW M4 Coupé has only been shown publicly as a ‘concept’, but thanks to an innovative collaboration with BMW M GmbH, Polyphony Digital enjoyed unprecedented early access to the car during its development phase in order to meticulously recreate the BMW M4 Coupé for Gran Turismo 6.

It is very exciting to virtually ‘launch’ the BMW M4 Coupé in Gran Turismo 6. The BMW M4 Coupé takes motor sport technology from the race track to the road, and thousands of laps of the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife – the world’s most demanding race track – have readied the new model for that transition. I am very much looking forward to seeing how it looks and feels in Gran Turismo on the same circuit.
